The 2024 Women's FA Cup final was the 54th final of the Women's FA Cup, England's primary cup competition for women's football teams. The showpiece event was the 30th to be played directly under the auspices of The Football Association and was named the Adobe Women's FA Cup final due to sponsorship reasons.

The final was contested between would-be first time winners Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, on 12 May 2024 at Wembley Stadium in London. Manchester United marked their second consecutive appearance in the final, having finished runners-up to Chelsea the previous year, while Tottenham Hotspur featured for the first time in their history.[2][3] It was the first Women's FA Cup final since 2005 not to be contested by Chelsea, Arsenal or Manchester City and the first since 2012 that was won by a team other than those three.[4][5]
